Well, I'm still pregnant! Lots of people thought I would go this weekend. I'm due on the 2nd dang it, don't you know how stubborn I am? Tell me something and I will always do the opposite. I'm Amanda.
I have my last scheduled doctor's appointment tomorrow, I have no idea what she will say. She was certain I would go this weekend also. (she of all people may have been able to predict but nope) I hope I don't send her into early labor when I walk into the office. (She's due in August). I am hoping for Raider's sake she tells me that I'm seriously dilated and need to go to the hospital. If I am not in labor by Friday at 8pm (when the kennel closes), I am going to be a nervous wreck all weekend. He's still my first baby and I want him to be taken care of! Especially since its a holiday weekend. Messy.
Someone looked at our house Sunday. I told the realtor to follow up with them (sad I have to prompt her) and a couple others who looked in the last week or so and get some feedback. I told her I was due Friday, maybe that will speed her up a bit. I'll sign the stupid papers while pushing if I have to, sell my house!
Nothing else to report! I'll let you know what the doc says tomorrow. I hear thunder so I think I'm about to lose my tv signal. OUR dish hardly ever went out in storms but this community dish thing is pure crap!

10 days to go
Went to the doc today. Nothing major to report. Gained less than a pound. Dilated around 1/2cm more. She asked if I had a high pain tolerance. LOL Like I was having contractions and didnt know it! I said no way, I am a huge wimp. I'm quite sure I will know when I have a contraction. So we are just waiting still. Everyone is way more anxious than me. I can wait another week or two if it means he is full term and can breathe and go home after 2 days. I dont know why everyone is in such a rush.
Going on month 5 of our house being on the market. Please pray hard for it to sell! This is our #1 priority as we wait for the baby. We have to get that thing sold!

3 of 3
Well, Leanne had Andrew today around lunch time! (c-section) everyone is good from what I hear.
So I am the last! I had a feeling I would be.
Reagan was due June 29th - born June 11th (18 days early) - 7lbs 2oz 19"
Andrew was due July 8th - born June 16th (22 days early) - 7lbs 2oz 19"
Baby Harkness due July 2nd - ??????????????
I'm just hoping to make it past our anniversary on Friday and breastfeeding class on Saturday. Grandma Harkness' birthday is Monday the 21st and she's hoping for a phone call as a present. hehe

37 weeks 4 days
No pics, sorry. I look the same!
Went to the doc this morning. I got a goodie bag of free stuff!
Gained zero pounds this time.
Baby's heartrate was good - 156 or something.
Said I am about 1/2cm more than last week. I guess this is good cause I'm moving along but not having any pain or anything with it. Still running errands and doing my normal life stuff.
Oh! I think my feet are kinda starting to get a little swollen if I stand up or sit too long. I'm actually excited about this, its my first real serious pregnancy symptom.
2 weeks and 3 days to go
I'm trying to think of new names for the blog. Suggestions?

Early morning
So baby harkness has decided when he's hungry he will throw a fit until I eat something. Today this happened at 6am. Raider had to pee anyways and was staring at me creepily so I just got up. Funny thing is, I'm not even tired. I'll be tired about 9am. Going to the doc at 11:45 so wont get a nap until after lunch.
Well, I have updates on my friends:
Stacy is doing good, she had a rough time and ended up with a c-section but her and baby Reagan are doing good and are home now.
Leanne's little man is deciding to hang out a while, she's been 4 days off the medication and zero contractions. His sister continues to learn new tricks and keep Leanne on her toes. I can't wait to see how Lauren is with her baby brother.
Talked to Lyndsey's cousin and she is doing well, her doctor thinks she will make it full term! The babies are about 2lbs each right now.
Got the dish/cable all fixed yesterday. Turns out the apt complex has dish network running through the walls, and the cable company just provides the service as a 3rd party. Really strange but we wont have to learn a new system and we get more channels for the same price AND free movie channels for 3 months b/c of the new service. Score!
Had childbirth class 2/3 last night, the last one for us. (we did 3/3 in May) It was ok, pretty standard stuff they told us. We have a breastfeeding class Saturday morning and then we're done with classes.
Got the denali all registered and inspected yesterday. Its officially ours and officially a Texas vehicle! The dmv in Frisco is nicer than any other dmv on the planet. I was so amazed. And there was no line, the woman took my paperwork, I paid her and it was so simple and easy. I was out of there in no time at all. The library is in the same building and its on a cute little square where they have farmers markets and shops and stuff. We both are really hoping to find a house in Frisco now. McKinney is awesome but too far for Scott to drive to work. I need to have the realtor update the search so I can see whats out there in Frisco. Maybe I'll buy a lotto ticket. ha
Doc today at 11:45. Everyone keeps saying I'll be early. I dont feel like I will. I have everything ready just in case but still no symptoms and I feel totally normal. Aside from seeing baby harkness, I am very excited for people to stop asking me how I feel. Its so annoying.

Babies galore!
Well, Stacy was due June 29th and her water broke last night! She's at St. Lukes now! Waiting to hear when Reagan makes her appearance. Wish I was closer!!!
Leanne got to go off her anti-contraction medication today. Chances are she'll be in labor this weekend and Andrew will be here early as well. (he's a c-section tho so it'll be quicker) He was due July 5th-ish but was going to be delivered via c-section June 29th. (I think those dates are right.)
Kelly, due July 25th, is still working! She is having braxton-hicks but otherwise still truckin along.
There are SOOO many other prego friends due later this year or early next year!

No contractions for me yet, I'm just getting really really tired lately. I couldnt even go to walmart today after I took Scott to work. He's going to get the new car this weekend so it will just be me and the Raider dog laying on the couch all weekend. Good thing I recorded about 20 movies on the dish. And I have to watch them all cause they are coming to take the receiver Monday morning. :( Boo hoo. I am so sad to have to get rid of it, but there is nothing we can do. We face the NW and the only way to get a signal is to hang the dish off the balcony which is a breech of lease contract. Dont wanna get kicked out!
The cable company better be amazing, I have very high expectations.
Already a plus: we get FX and FSN again!

Update
Went to the doc today. She measured Baby Harkness again and he is 5lbs 15oz and 19"long. As they are supposed to gain 1/2lb a week that tells me the last measurement 4 weeks ago was pretty wrong. (told ya) I asked and she said they can be +/- 1lb.
Everything else looks great! I only gained 2lbs this time (in 2 weeks) I am dilated 2.5cm already. (I shoulda bet money on that, I was pretty sure I was) and he is head-down ready to go. Now I just sit around and wait 3 weeks. No contractions yet or swelling, just feeling big, walking funny and peeing a lot. She didn't change my due date or say anything alarming.
I went to the "boarding house" on the way home and got Raider's paperwork all turned in so we can just drop him off when we go to the hospital. I think he is better. His bm's have been normal for 2 days now. I didnt take him to the vet, cause I think he is ok. He's really itchy and I need to get him back on his allergy medicine. I stopped all medicine when he was having issues.
Scott is going to Bloomington this weekend to pick up our "new" car. So that will be a big relief.
We had childbirth class 1/3 last night, got some more information. It wasn't anything I hadn't heard before. They did some breathing exercises and we are supposed to practice. Class 2/3 is next Monday then we are done with those! Breastfeeding class is the 19th. We are touring the hospital tonight.
The hospital I'm at is so new they dont have new babies online. Good thing we have smart phones! We are also going to buy a new camera soon. Not that we ever use a regular camera but apparently we plan to start.
